Figure 6-16 GATE (left) and EXP Touchscreens

The Gate/expander has five controls and an on/off switch. There is a mode 

button to switch between the gate and downward expander.

The IN/OUT meters show the levels coming in/out of the gate/expander. The 

inverted REDUCTION meter displays the gain reduction. 

The graph summarizes the gate/expander’s parameter settings.

The THRESH control adjusts the level below which attenuation begins. It is 

adjustable in the range -60 to -1 dBFS in increments of 0.1 dBFS. The default 

threshold value is -1 dBFS.

In Gate mode, the RANGE control sets the amount of attenuation that occurs 

when the signal drops below the Threshold. The RANGE is variable from 
-100 dB to -1 dB in increments of 0.1 dB. The default is -100 dB. 

In Expander mode, this setting is called RATIO and sets the expansion gain 

reduction ratio from 1:1 to 1:

∞

. The default is 1:

∞

. 

The HOLD control adjusts the time the Gate/Expander stays open after the 

signal drops below the threshold before gain reduction begins. HOLD is adjustable 

in the range 0–5 s; the default is 0 s.
